It is a pleasure to present you our latest exhibition and auction, “It Came from… Van Eaton Galleries!” This auction contains a wonderful assortment of artifacts spanning the past 100 years of popular culture, entertainment, and Disney history. As you look through these pages, I’m sure you’ll find a piece of pop culture history that resonates with you. This auction would not have been possible without the dedicated collectors and enthusiasts who have entrusted us with their treasured items and collections. I am truly grateful to each of our consignors for their unique stories and insights, which have helped to make this such an incredible offering. There are a few individuals I want to thank specifically: First, thanks are due to Nancy Cartwright for letting us offer her incredible personal collection of The Simpsons memorabilia. What truly impresses me about Nancy, in addition to voicing the 10-year-old Bart Simpson, is the incredible passion she has for important causes that are dear to her heart. Nancy is a founding member of the Know More About Drugs (KMAD) Alliance. The sale of her items in this catalog will benefit KMAD in their efforts to educate and inform parents and caregivers of the potentially harmful effects of prescription drugs. We are thankful to have the opportunity to help Nancy in raising awareness for KMAD, and to Nancy for entrusting us with the amazing mementoes from her legendary career. Nancy’s items can be found in lots 310-337 of this catalog, and more info on Know More About Drugs can be found at www.KnowMoreAboutDrugs.org. I would also like to thank Linda Ondo for bringing us her incredible vintage sci-fi poster collection. Linda and her family inherited this magnificent collection after the passing of her cousin, David. When she brought her items in, we were hopeful there would be a few key pieces that could work in an auction setting. What we didn’t expect was that seemingly every poster we uncovered would be rarer than the last! Titles including Forbidden Planet, The Day the Earth Stood Still, War of the Worlds, Creature from the Black Lagoon… the list just kept growing and growing. It was clear that Linda and her family had just inherited one of the greatest collections of sci-fi posters in private hands that we have ever encountered! We are thrilled to bring these rare posters to auction for fans of these historic titles to see for the first time, and to celebrate the care David put into curating his phenomenal collection. We are exceptionally grateful to Linda and her family for this opportunity. Finally, I want to thank every reader of this catalog. Over the years, Van Eaton Galleries has made it our goal to bring you the highest quality auctions, exhibitions, and catalogs possible. A lot of work by our dedicated and talented staff, for whom I am also exceptionally thankful, goes into the creation of these auctions. But the effort would be all for naught, if not for you, the reader. Whether you’ve been with us since our very first auction or you’re new to Van Eaton Galleries, welcome and thank you. I hope you enjoy perusing the items in this catalog as much as I have enjoyed working on it. -Mike Van Eaton. 2

(Universal/Realart, 1948/R-1956) A U.S. half-sheet poster for the 1956 Realart re-release of the Universal comedy horror classic, Abbott & Costello Meet Frankenstein. Posters from the re-release of this film are widely considered to be superior to those from the initial theatrical run, as the 1956 posters prominently depict the film’s iconic monsters. Such is the case with this striking half-sheet, featuring large images of Glenn Strange as Frankenstein’s Monster and Bela Lugosi and Lon Chaney in their signature roles as Dracula and the Wolfman. Interestingly, halfsheets from the Realart release of the film are also much rarer than those from 1948, as fewer theaters ran the movie. Measuring 22”x28”, the poster is in very good condition with some toning to the extreme edges, corner pinholes, faint scattered smudges in the borders, scuffing in the billing block, light corner creasing, and minor edge and handling wear. $300-$500

48. Forbidden Planet 30x40 Silkscreened Poster. (MGM, 1956) An excessively rare original U.S. silkscreened 30x40 poster for the Freudian techno-horror masterpiece, Forbidden Planet. Featuring bold day-glo artwork of Robby the Robot carrying the beautiful Altaira, against a backdrop of Mod-futurist architecture and cosmic iconography, the poster epitomizes all the greatest elements of the era’s pulp sci-fi aesthetic. Only a small number of these rare posters have ever been sold at public auction, making this gorgeous large-format poster one of the scarcest styles not just for this film, but for any genre classic of the period. As the poster style suggests, the piece measures 40”x30”. It has undergone sensitive professional restoration and presents beautifully with very faint creases and spots of discoloration. There are a few small black paint smears in “Planet” from the original silkscreening process (typical of such posters), some expected tan toning to the underlying paper from age, and faint brown spot discoloration to some of the plain paper elements including the tag line and billing at left. As with the discovery of a hyper-advanced alien civilization, opportunities to own one of the most sought after sci-fi posters in the galaxy rarely happen more than once a millennium. $7,000-$10,000 28

155. Millennium Falcon 6ft Toys ‘R Us Store Display. (Hasbro, 1997) A limited edition Millennium Falcon Extraordinaire 6ft store display created by Hasbro for Toys ‘R Us. Constructed of sturdy styrene plastic with identical deco and decals to the Power of the Force version, the Falcon Extraordinaire is a direct tool-up of the toys produced by Kenner and Hasbro and represents the true size of the spacecraft scaled for 3.75” action figures. The ship has a brass plaque bolted to the top gunport engraved with the edition number, “500,” and includes a dish antenna, top and bottom quad lasers, cable hanger (one cable is absent, though the metal anchor that supports the ship is included), and internal lighting elements designed to be powered by an AC adapter (an electrical port is present, but the piece does not come with adapter; the lights are untested). An estimated 700 Extraordinaires were produced for a tie-in promotion with the Star Wars Special Edition theatrical rereleases, though the true figure is unknown. Later, Toys ‘R Us raffled off 500 of the surviving examples for charity. Interestingly, given the edition number, this would have been the final Extraordinaire awarded in the contest. The piece was never subsequently displayed, and retains the shipping box and a copy of the winner’s agreement, as it was transmitted to the original recipient. Measuring 76.92’’x53.85’’ and 15.38” deep, the piece is in very good condition with a minor dent in the styrene on the tail of the ship, and some wear to the rear sublight drive exhaust with a small scuff to the plastic and hole in the decal in the recessed area, and a small crack and chip in the bottom edge. Many of the decals have come loose over time. However, the vast majority appear to be present, and could readily be reattached. Truly one of the most impressive Star Wars toys ever created, the Extraordinare is a holy grail for any Star Wars collector. This item may require special shipping arrangements, please inquire for details and estimates. $2,000-$3,000 74

287. Munsters Al Lewis & Butch Patrick Opening Credits Art. (Universal, 1966) An instantly recognizable original screen-used title from the opening credit sequence of Munster, Go Home! Accomplished in hand-painted acrylic textured to look like oozing blood on a glass pane, the title credits Al Lewis (Grandpa Munster), Butch Patrick (Eddie Munster), and Debbie Watson (Marilyn Munster). Filmed directly after the run of the popular TV series, Watson replaced Pat Priest as the Marilyn, Lily Munster’s anomalously normal niece. The piece was created by Pacific Title in the same manner as the credits for the black-and-white television show. Because the film was shot in color, an in-camera effect was used to turn the lettering red. Matted with a background image of 1313 Mockingbird Lane, the title measures 16”x22” visible through a 21.75”x28.25” heavy duty black plastic frame and is in good condition with a few instances of chipping.

301. Star Trek: TOS Series Pilot Master Script for the Cage. (Paramount, 1966-69) An original extensively hand-annotated master script for the Star Trek: The Original Series first pilot episode, The Cage. Brad-bound in special Star Trek studio covers, the upper right corner of which is marked in felt pen, “Original,” the 67-page script by series creator Gene Roddenberry is hand-dated “9/22/64” (the hand-written date “9/21/64” has been crossed out). An important genesis document for the most influential sci-fi series in pop culture history, this script is a drastic revision of the Second Revised Final Draft (dated 9/20/64) and consists of original typed rough draft pages dated 9/21/64 and 9/22/64, complete with x’d out and typed-over sections, hand corrections, and additional handwritten elaboration; undated mimeo pages, all of which are hand annotated, most with consequential revision in the form of alterations to stage directions, line redactions, dialog changes, additions, and omissions, and scene renumbering; and inserted pages Frankenstein’d from stapled-together snippets of mimeo pages with additional hand-written content. The mark-ups were either done by Gene Roddenberry, himself, or under direct consultation from the sci-fi visionary, and as such, provide unique in-depth insights into his creative process and the evolution of his conception of the characters and the series. At this stage, the captain of the Enterprise is still named “Robert April” and the script refers to Rigel 113 rather than Rigel VII, Dr. Boyce is still merely “ship’s doctor,” and a Renaissance Bedroom is included on the set list, which disappears from subsequent drafts. The Cage would undergo further revisions before cameras rolled on November 27, 1964, but few surviving artifacts from production chronicle the process and scope of a painstaking overhaul and meticulous like the master script offered here. Measuring 11”x8.5”, the piece is in good condition with foxing to the edges of the cover, head, foot, and fore-edge, and some spot staining to the interior pages from the revision process. A major discovery of the utmost significance for any institution, Trek collector, or pop culture scholar, this remarkable and important document has never before been offered for public sale. $2,000-$4,000 125

The following items (Lots 310 to 337) are from the personal collection of Nancy Cartwright, the Emmywinning voice of Bart Simpson. The sale of these items will benefit the Know More About Drugs Alliance and their efforts to help parents and caretakers make educated decisions concerning prescription drugs. Nancy Cartwright has lent her acting talents to a myriad of modern animated classics, live-action films, video games, radio productions, and commercials. An accomplished painter and sculptor, her work is exhibited in the permanent collections of the News Corp. Building in downtown Manhattan and the University of Southern California. However, Cartwright’s passions aren’t limited to the arts. She is an active and generous philanthropist, as well as a founding member of the Know More About Drugs Alliance. The Know More About Drugs (KMAD) Alliance comprises medical experts, consumer drug safety representatives, and award-winning documentary filmmakers who have investigated the harmful effects of prescribed psychotropic (mind-altering) drugs and synthetic opioids (pain relievers) on children and teens. The Alliance also includes parents whose children were severely damaged from being prescribed such drugs, and who were not informed of the documented risks before agreeing to administer them to their children. KMAD does not give parents medical advice; rather its goal is to make them aware of information that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) provides on prescription drug risks. In this way, parents can ascertain which drugs can lead to drug dependence, addiction, and other serious adverse events (side effects). Armed with FDA-approved information, parents can have an educated conversation with their child’s doctor, and voice any concerns before making any decision regarding their care. Nancy describes the origin of KMAD and the importance of their mission, “I’m a mother and a grandmother, so much of my world revolves around children. And like many of you, I am concerned about the prescription drug epidemic in our country and how it’s affecting our kids. We’re all aware of the news headlines depicting the harm caused to our children by prescription opioids and other psychotropic drugs. Those headlines affected me so much, that I started creating art to express how I felt. In fact, the situation affects us all. I wanted to do something about it, so I started an organization to help parents get the information they needed to make educated choices. And this starts with informing them about the FDA Medication Guides. These Med Guides forewarn parents about any risk factors involved in taking these prescription drugs, including their potential for drug dependence and other serious side effects. This is something every parent needs to know. According to the Center for Disease Control, 11 of the top 15 drugs causing overdoses in America are prescription opioids and psychotropic drugs. And all of these drugs are being prescribed to children. Even though the subject can be difficult to face, I think it is vital that we shine a light on what can happen to kids when parents are uninformed. Knowledge is power, and every parent has the right to know more about drugs.” For more information on Know More About Drugs, please visit www.KnowMoreAboutDrugs.org 129

812. Splash Mountain Paddlewheeler Weathervane Prop. (Disneyland, 2010s) An original prop weathervane from Critter Country in the shape of the iconic paddlewheeler from Splash Mountain. This intricately detailed metal weathervane sat atop a building near Splash Mountain.

The themed weathervanes have been such popular aspects of Disneyland among eagle-eyed park guests that several weathervanes, including this one, were later designed into limited edition pins. Likely composed of copper, the weathervane stands 49” tall including it’s base, and is in good park-used condition. The copper has a beautiful patina from use, giving the prop a beautiful aged quality.

865. Hand-Painted Haunted Mansion Stretching Portrait. (Walt Disney World, 1980s-90s) An original hand-painted stretching portrait on canvas used in Walt Disney World’s Haunted Mansion. As the elevator in the mansion descends, these portraits “stretch” to reveal a darkly comic twist to the subject’s story. However, the consistent “stretching” action eventually causes wear to the canvas, and the portraits need to be replaced. The earliest portraits, such as this one, were hand-painted, while more modern versions are printed. This stretching portrait depicts a lovely young woman balancing on a fraying tightrope as a hungry alligator waits beneath. Designed by Imagineer Marc Davis, this particular image is arguably the most recognizable of the four portraits and has become synonymous with the attraction. The canvas measures 192”x47.5” with an image size of approximately 118”x47.5” and the piece is in very good condition with minor scuffing and surface wear from use. Surviving hand-painted stretching portraits are excessively rare and represent the pinnacle of Haunted Mansion and classic Disney Parks collecting. $80,000-$100,000 295

910. Park-Used Alice in Wonderland Attraction Poster. (Disneyland, 1958) One of the rarest Disneyland attraction posters, this is an original hand-silkscreened poster for Disneyland’s Alice in Wonderland attraction with “Fantasyland” proudly displayed along the bottom edge. Designed by Imagineer Sam McKim, the poster features the popular image of Alice down the rabbit hole with the denizens of Wonderland. This is the only such example of this rare “Fantasyland” Alice in Wonderland poster that we have ever seen offered for public sale. Most attraction posters that still survive today were never actually installed for use within Disneyland, however this particular poster was mounted within its frame and used within the park. The poster measures 53.5”x35.5” and the frame is 56.5”x38.5”. Both are in good condition. The poster exhibits corner and edge chipping, areas of spot paper loss at the top, bottom, and sides, minor tears, scratches, and scuffs throughout from outdoor display. The back of the board is cracked. Interestingly, to help reduce the amount of silkscreening needed on these posters, some of the white in Alice’s face was actually just the color of the poster paper showing through, instead of a silkscreen layer. As such, this park-used poster, which was adhered in its park-used frame for several decades, had someone browned in those white paper areas. Some color restoration of the white in Alice’s face has been professionally done, which creates a gorgeous display. This item may require special shipping arrangements, please inquire for details and estimates. $20,000-$25,000 308

932. 20,000 Leagues Attraction Reference Photo Binder. (Disneyland, 1955) An extraordinarily rare collection of (39) reference photos containing over 500 images of the short-lived 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea Nautilus exhibit at Disneyland. When the park opened in 1955, Tomorrowland was the least completed section of the park. In an effort to fill in gaps and introduce some variety to the land, which was primarily space-themed, Walt had his Imagineers install original sets and props from his 1954 Sea-Fi epic, 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, into a walkthrough exhibit that simulated the experience of riding on Captain Nemo’s proto-steam punk submarine. Never intended as a permanent feature, the attraction closed in 1966 despite its popularity with guests, who were afforded a chance to take an up-close look at Hollywood movie magic. Reference material for this opening day spectacle is exceedingly rare, with a mere handful of images available online. This collection is far and away the largest body of material we’ve ever encountered on the attraction. Consisting of (8) vintage gelatin silver 8”x10” single-weight glossy photos, all of which retain WDP ink stamps and hand written numeric codes on the reverse, (11) later 35mm contact sheets on 8”x10” RC paper, and (20) later 2.25” contact sheets on 8”x10” RC paper, the images in this archive chronicle virtually every aspect of the Nautilus exhibit, including all the iconic sets and props, from the 11’ model of the ship, to the giant squid outside the porthole, Nemo’s organ room with the actual screen used instrument, stylized dive suits and Underwater Electric Pellet Guns, and much, much more. Given that the contact sheets all feature many exposures, the lot actually contains over 500 unique images of the attraction, captured for internal documentary/reference purposes. A better resource to the composition and actual look and feel of this “lost” attraction is difficult to imagine. The photos are assembled in a 10”x11.5” binder and remain in very good to fine condition, with minimal handling wear. $2,000-$4,000

In 1991, Disney announced WestCOT, a massive expansion to Disneyland inspired by EPCOT Center and Walt Disney World’s multi-park model. Although the financial struggles of the newly opened Disneyland Paris contributed to the abandonment of the ambitious project by 1995, the idea of a resort expansion persisted. Instead of the originally envisioned WestCOT, the Disneyland Resort opened Disney California Adventure in February of 2001. Based on the history and culture of the state of California, the newest park has been home to numerous iconic attractions, including Goofy’s Sky School, Ariel’s Undersea Adventure, and the Tower of Terror, as well as the popular Cars Land. Props and other artifacts from California Adventure are popular with collectors as they document the journey of the park over its 20-year existence.

In 1964, Walt Disney Productions began buying up large amounts of land near Orlando, Florida, hiding their purchases under shell corporations to avoid speculation. It wasn’t until late 1965 that Walt Disney’s plans were confirmed, and on November 15, 1965, Walt officially announced that he would be building a second park in Florida. It was here that he would build his “East Coast Disneyland,” and it was here that he envisioned his “Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow.” Although Walt did not live long enough to see his vision realized, Roy O. Disney postponed his retirement to helm the project, which began construction in 1967 and opened on October 1, 1971. At 107 Acres, Disney World’s Magic Kingdom is significantly larger than Disneyland, with plenty of room to expand. Walt Disney World’s Magic Kingdom is a park unique from its predecessor and a reminder of the ingenuity and creativity of Walt Disney. This year, Walt Disney World celebrates its 50th anniversary, and remains just as beloved as it was on opening day.
